Remember the hit ABC show ‘Ugly Betty’ staring America Ferrera in which Betty, the protagonist, shows up to her first day of work at a fashion magazine wearing a hideous ensemble including a very loud and outdated poncho? Back when the show aired, ponchos were seen as anything but stylish.  In fact, when most people think of ponchos today, images of outdated, mothball scented, hand-me-downs from grandma’s attic come to mind.  For years ponchos were thought to be far from fashionable and chic but this generation’s designers are proving them to be stylish and dare I say, sexy!  Still on the fence?  Take a look at my latest fashion obsession, this beautiful Burberry Colour Block Poncho featured in the Autumn-Winter 14/15 Ready-to-Wear Collection.  Paired with the right ensemble, this chic piece would make a beautiful addition to any wardrobe putting it at the top of my luxury wish list.
